The USA benefited economically by taking over from Great Britain & France control of world trade, then economically subjugated the other countries involved in the agreement. It was going to break down eventually. The fact that Bretton Woods lasted as long as it did is rather impressive. The USA was the only country to benefit from the agreement. It was only begrudgingly signed by the other participates.
